Importance of Farmers:
Role, Importance, and Conditions.
India is a country of farmers. About 70 to 80 percent of
the population is still directly or indirectly dependent on
agriculture, That is why a great country like India is
known as an agricultural country in the world.
Farmer is an important part of our life, Indian farmer
fulfills the basic needs of 125 crore people in the country.
Farmers are most important in term soft he development
of the nation. Farmers are the backbone of our country
and society, on whose strength our economy stands.
Farmers work hard toiling in the field from down to dusk
to provide food for the nation They laught field sow
seeds, water, plants, care for them, and wait for harvest
time
Role of Farmers
“The role of farmers is as mentioned below:
1. Food production: Farmers are responsible for
producing the vast majority of the world’s food supply.
They grow crops, raise livestock, and produce other food
products.
2. Environmental stewardship: Farmers manage large
tracts of land. Their practices have a significant impact on
the environment. Sustainable farming practices help to
conserve natural resources, reduce green house gas
emissions, and protect biodiversity.
3. Economic development: Farming is a major
contributor to the economy both in terms of
employment and output. In many developing countries,
agriculture is the main source of livelihood for the
majority of the population.
4. Rural development:
Farming is often the backbone of rural communities.
Farmers play a key role in maintaining vibrant and
thriving rural areas.
Importance of Farmers
Contribution to GDP:
Farmers play a significant role in contributing to the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of India. Agriculture
contributes about 14% to India’s GDP.
This share was as high as 51% in 1950–[Link] it is
gradually decreasing with the progress and development
of the country. Since independence, the agriculture
sector has been a major contributor to the country’s
gross domestic product.
In the fiscal year 1950–1951, agriculture and other
related activities accounted for 59% of the country’s total
GDP in that fiscal year. Although the agriculture sector
has been steadily declining, it is still one of the most
important sectors in the Indian economy.
On the other hand, in developed countries like UK and
USA, the agriculture sector contributes only about 3% of
the total GDP of the country.
Attention to Growing Population
The farmer provides food for the country’s 1.25
billion population, Agriculture is the only option for
arranging food for this population.
Therefore, for the supply of food grains to this
population of the country, it can be completed only
by growing intensive agricultural practices, climate
and soil-friendly crops and their species.
This problem can be solved by growing different
types of crops like paddy, wheat, maize, Jowar,
pulses, oilseeds, etc.
Source of National Income:
Along with the increase in the income of the farmers
through crop production, various taxes related to
agricultural production such as revenue tax, irrigation
tax, production tax, etc.
generate income for the state and central government.
Apart from this, the nation receives a large amount of
foreign exchange from the export of some crops such as
tobacco, jute, tea, sugar, coffee, etc.
to foreign countries. The maximum share of India’s
income is obtained from agriculture and its related
business only.
Raw Material Supply:
The major industries of India get the raw material from
agriculture only. Cotton, jute, textile industry, sugar,
vegetable and plantation industries, etc. are directly
dependent on agriculture.
Many small and cottage industries like hand loom,
weaving, oil extraction, rice pounding, etc. also get the
raw materials from someone.
Main source of livelihood:
About 72.8% of the total population of our country still
lives in the village it self and earns its livelihood directly
or indirectly from agriculture or its related agriculture
industry for its sustenance. In the year 1950- 51, India’s
About 69.5% of the working population was engaged in
agriculture and allied sectors.
Conditions of Farmers in India
The conditions of farmers in India are as given below:
According to the Economic Survey 2019-20, the
mechanization of agriculture in India is 40 percent, which
is much lower than Brazil’s75 percent and America’s 95
percent. Due to this, there is a decrease in agricultural
productivity.
It is essential to have good seeds for a good crop. But
due to the lack of a proper distribution system, these
expensive and good seeds are not accessible to small
farmers. Due to this, the quality of their crop is affected.
Most of the farmers are not able to take advantage of
the government’s schemes related to agriculture due to a
Lack of education
Farmers of ten sell goods through brokers, mind is, and
commodity communication, who often buy their crops
from them at unfair prices. Hence the farmers do not get
the right price for their crops.
Conclusion
Farmers play an important role in the economy of India
as they are the producers of food and raw materials for
various industries.
However, farmers face several challenges that hinder
their productivity, profitability, and quality of life. But
addressing these challenges will help farmers improve
their livelihoods and promote sustainable agricultural
development in India.
